Case Law Summaries: monthly overview and analysis of selected cases, highlighting implications and recommendations for practice.

Services:

Tailored Support: two days of bespoke support delivered directly to your organisation in order to address key organisational priorities, including evaluation, evidence gathering and/or training – choose from a menu of options or we will work with you to identify and address a particular issue.

Change Projects: our working groups involve Partners to develop best practice approaches and innovative solutions to new areas of need, emerging priorities and challenges. These result in packages of resources for the wider network to use.
